Housebound (1985)
“Though he could have wished for one certain companion, the silence was nevertheless welcome. He warmed the brandy in his hand, taking another small sip as he stared meditatively into the flames. The Kirkland family was not at all what he had expected, and he could feel himself being drawn in against his will. It was hard to remember that he was here to do a job, not to get involved in the various emotional entanglements that ran rampant. And that included the wistfully beautiful woman who’d run... and hidden in her room the moment her younger sister drove off with that pompous idiot.Not that Wilson was really that bad, Noah conceded. A little stiff, a little unimaginative, but definitely not a stupid man. Except for the fact that he didn’t seem to have noticed that he was in love with the younger sister, not with his fiancée, he was really quite astute. It hadn’t taken him long to figure out why Noah was really there, even if Annie still remained mercifully in the dark.As for Holly, she’d certainly forgotten her determination to seduce him once Wilson appeared on the scene.MoreLess
